About
Sugar is the core of the OLPC Environment. It's goal is to turn the Laptop into a fun, easy to use, social experience that promotes sharing and learning.
Download
Sugar is currently under heavy development.
Build from sources
Sugar is composed of a few modules, and depends on xulrunner, which is not yet packaged by distributions. The easier way to build it from sources is to use jhbuild,
- Check out sugar-jhbuild
git clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild
- Build sugar and his dependecies
cd sugar-jhbuild ./sugar-jhbuild
- Run sugar
sugar-jhbuild run
Note that sugar-jhbuild is still in early development. In particular, dependencies detection will be improved. It needs a lot of testing so give it a try and report issues!
